@ freeney. Are you sure that you put the Eboot inside of a folder. It should not be currupt if it was a fully converted EBOOT and placed in the right folder after the right conversions... is your CD scratched... also, if they dont work in the GAME directory, try the game150 or game303/310 folders....

@wataloser. Yes, what you do is convert the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd disc to Isos. Then, convert them to EBOOT.PBPs... then make 3 folders... Final Fantasy Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3... and just drag and drop to the GAME directory of your PSP...

Great guide

For ripping PSX games (and any other cd, dvd, or discs you may have), i would reccomend Isobuster. Im not going to give a link because im not so sure if its considered a "warez" or sorts, but a quick search on google will bring you to it ;). Isobuster is good if you rip other things like dvd's and cd's of that nature. That way you dont have millions of different rippers for PSX games, CD's, HD DVD's,etc...

Popstation is great for converting it to the EBOOT.PBP file. Just make sure you name it correctly. One thing i like about popstation is that is automatically finds the name of the game when you choose the iso, cue, img (etc.) file and you can just copy the name and paste it on the folder that you put the eboot in. But i think some people are turned off by its cluttered GUI. :(

Just my five cents. Happy ripping!

@garry this is a tut for psx games which is the same as a ps1 game. Ps2 games cannot be played on a psp they are to big.

@ zinga... i thought it was quite simple... thats why i put it there budd :) Nice programming...

@fire88... well first after you convert it, you stick it in your game titled folder, then drag the folder to your psp... example:

I convert FFVII. Now, i have a EBOOT.PBP with the FFVII data on it. Now, i right click>create new folder. I name the folder FFVII. I put the Eboot.pbp into the FFVII folder, and drag [Folder] to PSP/GAME. To customize the eboot image and such, refer to my section IF YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR EBOOT in both the Icetea and PopstationGUI sections.
